		<title>[Chapter 9] Thief: A Novel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My head snaps up. &#8220;Yes, asimi, your Mother is of Miacandros. Listen, I will tell all I know. Saw your Mother isn&#8217;t so accurate, actually.

		<title>[Chapter 6] Thief: A Novel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now as I approach Malcedon, striding across the last mile of desert sand, I feel the same pressure in the back of my throat. Fear sings in my head and pulses through my blood.

		<title>[Chapter 5] Thief: A Novel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All the ships and people seemed to blur around me as I walked down the docks. It was the first time I had felt hopeless in my life.

		<title>[Chapter 4] Thief: A Novel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The city was huge, its market alone the size of the small city we had come from. Its trade did not diminish in winter as that of most cities did.

		<title>[Chapter 2] Thief: A Novel</title>

		<title>[Chapter 1] Thief: A Novel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The dawn this morning is gray and makes me unsure of anything but my own two hands. I am hungry and cold, but that&#8217;s as usual.
